See & Do

With much to see and do, plan to get no further than No 3 at Cunderdin in one day. Start at Mundaring Weir to follow a drop of water from source to destination. At the dam’s base, No 1 Pump Station houses photographs that illustrate the goldfields’ desperate need for water.

Cross the dam wall if the gates are open; visit the award-winning display in No 1 if you are there during opening hours; take a signposted walk to the site of No 2 Pump Station where only the receiving tank remains; enjoy refreshments at the historic hotel built to slake the thirst of the dam construction workers.
